Gay Christians
November 2, 2014 at 8:08 pm
Gay christians boggle my mind. How could you be part of organization that has spent the better part of two millenia shunnong or straight up murdering your people? Especially when the murder of your people is commanded by their holy book.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Belonging to a church and following Christ are two different things, no? The OT is still problematic, but I can somehow see it. Gay catholics, protestants, lutherans indeed boggle the mind.
Btw, substitute Gay -> Women, and you have nother mystery...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Yeah, I have the same feeling about conservative chirstian women. And chirst made it clear that yoou take the old testament with the irregardless of your church.

Why don't we just make it as bad as possible? Why not be a black, gay, female, Mormon and have done with it?
Seriously, I know a number of bright career minded female Christians. They do it by ignoring what they want to ignore.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

Well what's atheism got going for it: meaninglessness, depravity, hate, indifference, nihilistic realism... Vs love, positivity, community, family.
Nah I can't see the attraction at all

ESPECIALLY the realism. What a downer.

But it's meaninglessness, depravity, hate, indifference, and nihilistic realism, for everyone equally.

Because only christians have families and love right?
